My boyfriend ( Bo) and I just got our first pet together! We've been together a little over a year, so I guess it was about time.
It is a cat. I think he is three or four years old.
He was a stray, who actually adopted me.
When I went to work this past Friday, Dickens (named after the author) was on my porch.
When I came home from work that afternoon, Dickens was still there and actually tried to come inside with me, as if he lived in my house too.
Dickens is the sweetest cat. He is incredibly calm and affectionate. He loves to be pet but is content just to be near you.
He appears to have been fixed and is litter trained, so my guess is someone dumped him. :(
Alyssa, my roommate, has a non hospitable cat.
So Friday, Alyssa and I made the Dickens comfortable on our porch, deciding it would be our outdoor cat.
But Saturday afternoon, our hateful neighbor passed Dickens on our shared sidewalk and viciously kicked him- just for kicks. No pun intended.
I was at work and so didn't catch guy doing it- luckily for the guy.
But Alyssa's fourteen year old cousin was outside and saw Dickens get kicked and run off.
The cousin told Alyssa texted and who told me.
I was outraged! Thank God that miserable man is moving. I don't want to live next to someone like that.
I didn't get home from work until late Saturday night. I look for Dickens both then and Sunday because I was concerned he had been injured, but he was nowhere in site.
Sunday afternoon, I came home from work and saw Dickens on the porch of our nice neighbor's duplex, which is right beside the duplex the mean man lies in.
I went over and consfiscated Dickens ( victory is mine! :) ) and brought him back to my porch, where I could keep an eye on him.
Bo came over Sunday afternoon. He met Dickens and they bonded.
Bo decided to take him Dickens, since Dickens is not safe at my place, due to my horrible neighbor.
Late last night, Bo and I went to Walmart and got Dickens his bed, dish, kitty litter, toys, food etc.
We also gave Dickens a bath- his first and last- :lol and got him settled.
It was so much fun to bring home "baby".
I have pictures on my cell phone to show people at the GTGs and will post some pictures on here soon. :)
